Calling All Earthlings
World Premiere

Long before the X-Files, the threat of nuclear bombs and stifling social conformity drove artists, inventors, and eccentrics to the desert to experiment with alternative lifestyles and futures. This is the story of seminal desert UFO contactee George Van Tassel. A self-taught inventor and confidante of Howard Hughes, Van Tassel created the Integratron, an electromagnetic dome near Joshua Tree, CA. Designed in the 1950s, the Integratron combined science and spirit to create a new utopia. He designed it to both rejuvenate life and provide free energy. Is he crazy, or does it actually work? As Van Tassel's diverse neighbors tell his fantastical story, a second portrait emerges. The FBI gets involved as the dome nears completion, and Van Tassel's tale and the Integration meet an unexpected end. Hear from historians, astronomers and current residents of Joshua Tree, including the stewards of the Integratron, the Karl Sisters, and a galaxy of believers and skeptics alike.

A Q&A with director Jonathan Berman follows the film.

REEL HEALING: Calling All Earthlings On Waves of Sound
The Integratron’s arcing wooden chamber of resonance is still sought and used by sound healers and visionaries worldwide in their work connecting the human spirit to the cosmos. In the end, Van Tassel’s life raft for humanity is a reminder that there is a road map back into the higher realms through resonance. Peace Place’s Arthur Baird is Sedona’s maestro for sourcing that still point within, in the cascading waves of sound created with loving intention from his noted crystal bowls.
